Believe it or not, that happened to us at Connecticon during the AMV panel - they put us in a panel room without any AV equipment, so I had to go get my laptop and we ran the second half of the panel in a hallway...

This is true. I think 4/5 (Note: This is not a fraction. This is the actual amount of people that attended) of the people that were even there were there because we kinda begged them to stay.

Oh, and because I am a sexy, sexy man. Giggity giggity.

Yeah, that's definitely a new story for any of my Con Survival panels.

p.s. submit your Ceres video to AAC, we need a guinea pig for the FTP server

Otakon Con Chair wrote: No. No there is not. Time to enforce Operation: Tighty Whitey

John wrote: Right. Cram everything into a small, restricting place so that, no matter what the situation, nobody is the winner.

Otakon Con Chair wrote: Roger that.

At least, I'm pretty sure thats how the conversation went.

How do I know? I know. My Gut tells me I'm right.

Replace all instances of "Seen" with either AtomX, Vlad Pohnert, Kusoyaro, AluminumStudios, Ashyukun, Me

and anyone else I may be forgetting

I'm surprised they haven't noticed the trend

Update from the Otakon board:

Jason Marin wrote:Hey,

Jason here. I'm talking with the Head of Video Programming, and there was some misunderstanding as to the nature of the space when the AMVs were assigned to the room. We are working now to arrange for bigger space, and I will let everyone know what is going on when I hear more.

Quite the misunderstanding, but at least the chickens still have their heads attached. All we gotta do is get them to stop running in circles...

So I take it you'll be at Otakon and I will see you there again this year?

Unfortunately, no. I recently got a new job (selling Dell equipment at a Mall Kiosk, go me!) and I don't want to risk getting fired for taking a weekend off so soon.

Woe is me, this will be my 1st Otakon I missed in like, 3 years.

I expect to hear about some crazy, wacky, alcohol-induced hijynx, though. Don't leave me hangin'. You dig?

Yep you'll hear of one. Otakon is going to be right before my 21st B-day. So I'm hoping some creators will stick around Sunday Night to help me celebrate it.

Now we have to wait until mid night since my birthday is on August 7th but still its nice to have Otakon the day before my birthday, it just makes it a little more enjoyable.
